COCOMI to Agitate Over IDP Resettlement in Manipur
The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) and valley-based Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are planning to protest on January 12.
They want the government to help them return to their homes quickly and safely.
The government has been working on resettling people, but COCOMI says more needs to be done.
They met with the Chief Secretary but didn't get clear promises.
The government has spent money to build and repair houses, but many homes are still in bad shape.
COCOMI is worried about the condition of these homes and wants the government to act faster.
COCOMI and IDPs to launch agitation on January 12 demanding time-bound resettlement measures.
COCOMI representatives met with the Chief Secretary but received no concrete assurances.
Agitation includes a march to Lok Bhavan to highlight prolonged displacement of families.
Government claims over 10,000 IDPs have been resettled under a Rs 523-crore package.
